I can't be proud of myself. I've never achieved much to be proud of!
Both my parents were very critical. I always felt like a disappointment to them. On the other hand, my sister passed the 11-plus, (they'd stopped doing it by the time I got to that age), went to a Public School, then on to Uni. She was a fake ar-slicker towards my parents, so they always believed her to be the better one. My Mum said that I was always TOO honest, then in the next breath she'd accuse me of lying. I've always told the truth unless it would hurt someone. I'm very unlucky generally and misunderstood.
Can we change the subject, please? I can't take compliments and I don't like too much attention!
